Summary

Today I sit down with Tony Esposito and Nick Wilkerson from the fantastic band White Reaper.

I sat down with the guys a few weeks ago after their soundcheck at The Troubadour in Los Angeles and dug into all things White Reaper including how their new record You Deserve Love came about, The music scene in Louisville Kentucky and of course what its like being on Elektra Records.

Make sure you check out all their music and also follow them on Instagram and Twitter https://www.instagram.com/whitereaperusa/

we'll come out on the other end of this and we will hopefully have learned a lot of stuff.

1:09.9

One of the things we definitely have learned is we are not ready for any kind of pandemic
